To clarify I meant responsibility like when people act on their shitty beliefs (e.g. Jan6).
How is the population supposed to fight that?
I don’t know. It feels like such a losing battle.
Maybe it all boils down to the dumb luck of coming across the right viewpoints at the right moment? But we’re in a world where you fall so easily into echo chambers where you won’t see those viewpoints, get increasingly isolated, and your social relationships hinge more and more around these beliefs…
And that’s a scary thought.
I was lucky and grew past my Catholic conservative upbringing. But I might’ve not as well. I would’ve missed everything that makes my current life worth living…
In the meantime this is a situation that has been ongoing since the advent of mass media. It has evolved, became more individualized and targeted, but its core hasn’t really changed since at least the beginning of the 20th century. And still we haven’t found a satisfying response since then.
Thanks ^^
